Brdo puno rupa

Brdo iznad sela je puno rupa. Ljudi su ih kopali rukama. Rupe idu ravno dolje u zemlju.

The hill above the village is full of holes. People dug them by hand. The holes go straight down into the ground.

Ima oko dvije tisuće rupa. Pored svake rupe je uže i kanta.

There are about two thousand holes. Next to every hole there is a rope and a bucket.

Rudari ne koriste strojeve. Stroj bi razbio plavi kamen. Zato koriste male alate i svoje ruke. Kamen izlazi gore u kanti. Muškarci idu dolje na užetu. Neke rupe su vrlo duboke.

The miners do not use machines. A machine would break the blue stone. So they use small tools and their hands. The rock comes up in the bucket. The men go down on the rope. Some holes are very deep.

Posao je težak. Također je opasan. Polly sjedi i gleda. Mokra kanta dolazi gore. Muškarac izruči kamen i gleda kroz njega.

The work is hard. It is also dangerous. Polly sits and watches. A wet bucket comes up. A man tips out the rock and looks through it.
